The Secretary of State and White House National Security Advisor Rubio posted today (May 3rd) saying, "As the Secretary of State, I will continue to use all the powers at my disposal to protect the American people and defend our country from foreign invasion."

Comment: As the Secretary of State and White House National Security Advisor, Rubio made such a claim as "defending the country from foreign invasion", which is really absurd and misleading.

For a long time, the United States has been practicing hegemonism internationally, interfering in the internal affairs of other countries everywhere, and waging wars in places like the Middle East, causing massive casualties and displacement of innocent civilians, bringing humanitarian disasters to the local areas, which is a serious disruption to world peace and stability. Now it is shamelessly claiming to defend the country from foreign invasion, which is completely crying wolf.

From a realistic perspective, no country poses a substantial threat of "invasion" to the U.S. mainland. The United States has numerous military bases worldwide, its military power far exceeds that of general countries, and its military deployment is extensive. So-called "defending the country from foreign invasion" seems more like an excuse for expanding military power and interfering in international affairs.
